The Biochemical Society is committed to facilitating and engaging in discussion on issues relating to science policy. Here you can find out how we make sure the voice of the molecular bioscience community is heard:
The Society regularly contributes to consultations from the Government and other organizations. In our open consultation responses section you can see what we're currently responding to and make a contribution.
Discussions on pertinent policy issues are included in our membership magazine The Biochemist. These Policy Matters articles are available online.
The Society, in consultation with its membership and Policy Committee, produces a number of position statements on a wide range of issues.
Our HESA data analysis identifies trends in student numbers, degree choice within the molecular biosciences and employment choices after graduation.
In the consultation response archive you can see what we've had to say on issues past. We've responded to a plethora of topics including the RAE, Science and Society and Open Access.
